Which Dynamics 365 product is built for retail?

Dynamics 365 Commerce is Microsoft’s dedicated retail solution, providing point of sale (POS), e-commerce, merchandising, and inventory across physical and digital channels. Smaller retailers often run Dynamics 365 Business Central instead, while Customer Insights adds marketing and a single unified customer profile.

Retail challenges we solve

Disconnected channels and siloed customer data make it hard to deliver a modern shopping experience and protect margins. Dynamics 365 unifies it all.

Disconnected Channels

Inventory Blind Spots

No Single Customer View

Loyalty, history, and preferences scattered across POS, web, and email tools.

💳

Clunky Checkout

Slow or inconsistent checkout across web and in-store that costs you sales.

📉

Thin, Unclear Margins

Hard to see true product and channel profitability after discounts and returns.

🔁

Painful Returns & Exchanges

Cross-channel returns that frustrate customers and staff alike.

Retail FAQs

What is the difference between Dynamics 365 Commerce and Business Central for retail?

Dynamics 365 Commerce is a dedicated omnichannel retail platform with advanced POS, e-commerce, and merchandising for larger or multi-store retailers. Business Central is a broader all-in-one ERP that suits smaller retailers needing solid inventory and finance with simpler POS needs. We help you choose based on store count, channels, and complexity.

Can Dynamics 365 POS work offline?

Yes. Dynamics 365 Commerce POS is designed to keep operating during internet outages and syncs transactions automatically once the connection returns.

Does it support omnichannel fulfilment like buy-online-pickup-in-store?

Yes. Dynamics 365 Commerce supports BOPIS, ship-from-store, endless aisle, and cross-channel returns.

Can it integrate with our existing e-commerce platform like Shopify or Magento?

Yes. If you prefer to keep your current storefront, we integrate it with Dynamics 365 for shared inventory, orders, and customers using Power Automate, Azure, and Dataverse.

Will I get a single view of each customer?

Yes. With Dynamics 365 Customer Insights we unify data from POS, e-commerce, and marketing into one profile for loyalty and personalisation.
